Chapter 41: Behind Enemy Lines (7)
Ai sneered and pointed to the northeast direction and said, "If I'm not mistaken, if I walk in that direction for about ten kilometers, you should be able to see a road." Follow that road all the way north and you'll be back to Serbia. But I can't guarantee that I'll meet someone from NATO. ”
I smiled and said, "If you encounter it, you can only blame it on bad luck." However, I've never been very lucky, and as long as I can find the right way, I can usually go back. By the way, I don't know what your name is? Do you mind if we get to know each other? I introduced myself first, "My name is Lin, and people usually call me Gypsy." I am a mercenary who was sent to Serbia by my employer. ”
Love sneered at me and said, "My name is Waldette? Zaka. The Kosovo Defense Forces, formerly of the Kosovo Liberation Army. ”
I nodded and held out my hand to him, and the sneering brother named Waldette looked at me as if he was hesitant to shake my hand.
I continued to stretch out my hand and said, "We should be partners at this moment, aren't we?" Even when the ancient Romans were at war with the surrounding city-states and tribes, whenever there was an invasion by a foreign enemy, they would first unite to fight off the foreign enemy and divide the spoils before resuming the war. ”
Waldette laughed when I said this, stretched out his hand and shook it with me, and said, "I heard you just say that you have been lucky, and that means that you have fought a lot of battles before?" ”
"It was all nightmare memories. Hehe. Especially in the woods like this, this time was very similar to this time, but the season was different. I looked at the old guy and said, "Uncle, help me get this thing off my shoulder." ”
Yugovic said yes and walked over and started to take care of my shoulder, I looked at Waldette and said, "It was a Russian, hehe." It's not a human life. ”
Waldette was stunned for a moment when I heard what I said, then smiled, "You're really lucky. Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive now. ”
"Where are you going? With us or with your companions somewhere else? I asked.
Waldette looked around and said, "I'm going to walk with you for a while." I had to find someone, find a real doctor to treat my companions. When I find a road, I look at it, see where it is close, and then go to the nearest place. ”
Yugovic quickly tore the clothes off my shoulders, picked out the pieces of wood, and then gave the wound a simple treatment and bandage.
I looked northeast, "Ten kilometers or so... It feels a lot longer than that. I stood up, "How's that?" Let's hurry up and go. ”
Waldette picked up his companions and prepared to carry them, and I watched them struggling to help. After he picked up his companion, I handed the gun on the ground to his companion on his back.
"Let's go. Uncle, you lead the way. I'm in the back of the hall. I said as I picked up the backpack on the ground and moved my arm slightly, feeling okay, "Uncle." Good craftsmanship. ”
The old guy looked back at me, "You need a doctor, too." Let's go and try to get back early. ”
Not far after we walked out, there was a faint sound of gunfire behind us. Waldette looked back, "This shot is quite far away from us. The gunfire doesn't sound like it's the people of NATO, I don't know if it's your people or ours. ”
"Let's go." The old guy spoke in front of the line, "It's probably your people who met the NATO people. Our people should have either died or run away from this place. ”
"This time the mercenaries have won a big victory. By the way, how many mercenaries are there? How do I think they're all over the place? I asked.
My question made Waldette smile and say, "That's funny. Are you here to deal with the people of NATO? You don't even know how many people you're dealing with? ”
I also smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I've only been here for three days." And more than half of the time in the war. How can I have time to study my opponents? The first battle was to fight with the bandit gang called the earl, but it was not someone's opponent, and he ran away overnight and ran here, originally planning to pick up his own people to complete the mission, but who knew that it would end up like this. ”
"Count?" Waldette stopped and looked back at me, "You mean you and the Count had a fight before?" ”
"yes." I nodded, "You don't know?" Isn't that what you arranged? ”
Waldette frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?" What did we arrange? I'm not going to act with that gang. ”
I stopped, and his answer surprised me too. Because now that we're in this state, there's no need for this sneering Waldet to deny anything to me, it doesn't make much sense. After all, everyone was already hostile before, so what's wrong with dealing with each other? And judging by his expression and tone, he seemed to be very unhappy with my statement.
"What? Judging by the timing, it is just right for your actions. And isn't the Count your kindred? I said.
Waldette sneered, "Kindred? It was a man who had no concept of a nation or a state. In his eyes, there is only profit. I'm not going to fight with that man, and I'd love to let me kill him. ”
"Then what happened to them attacking on the other side of the border after the main forces of the Serbs entered Kosovo?" I asked.
"I didn't know it was going to happen. My comrades-in-arms and I only know that you are preparing to attack us, and we will seize this opportunity to teach you a hard lesson. Earl? You can ask any person and see who will like the Count and will carry out the action with him. Waldette said and looked at the old fellow, "You can ask them first, they should know the Count, and see if I am right." ”
I glanced at the old fellows, and Yugovich had told me before that the Count was a bandit, and he was very powerful, and he hired a lot of good men. If it weren't for the Albanians uniting with the Count, how could there be such a coincidence? The old guy said that the bandits were a bunch of unprofitable goods, and there was no reason to suddenly attack the armed groups of the Serbs.
"Forget it. I'll figure this out later. Tell me about these NATO mercenaries. How many of them are there? I asked.
"Those guys, there's a battalion. And their battalion still has a name. The Eastern Battalion, many of which are said to be soldiers from Eastern Europe. Waldette said.
"Camp of the East? People all from the East? I've seen that some of them speak English and French. There should also be Americans or people from Western Europe. I said.
"It's not surprising that there are Americans or British. I don't know about Southern Europe, but that's for sure in Eastern Europe. There are quite a few people who speak Slavic languages, and I know that there are Ukrainians, Serbs, Poles, and of course Albanians, and supposedly Russians. Waldette said.
"They seem to be a lot better equipped than you and us. Are there any other NATO troops besides them? I asked.
"Yes. But that's a real peacekeeping force. Everywhere you go, there is a UN sign on the car. Usually there is little activity, and I don't come and go in and out of the camp casually. It is even less likely to be involved in a conflict in this way. Waldette said.
I nodded in understanding, it seemed that the mercenaries were very targeted, and some of them spoke the local language and were familiar with the environment. A battalion? That's at least two or three hundred. That's a lot of force, and from what I think of the Serbs at the moment, they have little hope of dealing with them. And what about the Albanians? I don't know, but from the current point of view, the Dongfang Battalion doesn't take these people very seriously.
"What do you think? Want to deal with that Eastern battalion? Waldette asked.
I didn't speak, just smiled. Think, how I don't want to. I even had the urge to kill the peacekeepers together. Because those people will not be ignorant of the actions of the Eastern Battalion, they are actually in a group, but the division of labor is different.
"I advise you to forget it." Waldet continued, "You took the initiative to attack that mercenary, and many of the peacekeepers are also NATO, and they will not watch the destruction of the Eastern Battalion." And take the initiative to attack the Eastern Battalion? Hehe, it's not realistic. ”
I looked at him with a tired look on his face, and his speech was a little choppy. I took the initiative to catch up and said, "Do you want me to exchange with you?" I'll help you carry him for a while. ”
Waldette looked at me in some surprise when I said this, and after a moment he suddenly laughed: "You're interesting. You can't really be like the people of the ancient Roman period you say. I think you want to talk to me more and learn more about things. ”
I smiled and didn't deny that at the moment, in this environment and relationship, honesty can get more of what I need than concealment. So I said, "Yes." As I said, I've not been here long ago, and I don't know a lot of things. And you're right, I do want to take out those NATO guys, and not just think, that's what I'm here for. ”
